Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown could be a crucial witness in the upcoming trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who faces charges related to the 1996 murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.
Sources informed prosecutors that Foxy Brown was seen in Las Vegas with Keffe D and his associates on the night of Tupac’s fatal shooting on September 7, 1996, according to The Sun.
This information could be pivotal in the trial, which has been delayed to November 4 by Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny.
Keffe D, who admitted to being in Las Vegas that night in his book “Compton Street Legend,” claims there is no proof of his presence at the crime scene. He alleges that his cousin, Orlando Anderson, was the one who shot Tupac. Anderson was killed two years after Tupac’s murder.
In his book, Keffe D recounted an encounter with Eric “Zip” Martin, who allegedly provided him with a gun, and mentioned Foxy Brown being present. Keffe D wrote:
“As I walked up to the driver’s side window, I noticed that the rapper, Foxy Brown, was in the car with Zip. So he instructed her to step out of the car and motioned for me to jump in. Zip had a hidden compartment that he opened up, reached in, and pulled a black .40 Glock out. He turned to me and said, ‘It’s time to get the money.’ Zip handed me the 17-shot pistol, which I promptly put down the back waist of my pants. I hopped out of the car, held the door open for Foxy Brown to get back in, closed the door, and they pulled off.“
Keffe D’s attorney, Carl Arnold, asserts that his client fabricated his involvement in Tupac’s death to gain fame and profit. Prosecutors hope Foxy Brown will confirm seeing Keffe D that night, which would undermine his defense.
Originally set for June 3, the trial is now scheduled for November 4. Keffe D was arrested in Henderson, Nevada, on September 29, 2023, after police searched his residence.
He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder last November and could face life in prison if convicted.
Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting after attending a Mike Tyson boxing match in Las Vegas.
He died six days later at the age of 25, leaving a profound impact on the music industry and his fans worldwide.
